Dissension in the n. Y. s. N. e. Company.
Boston, April 25.-The Journal says dis
sensions have arisen in the New York q New
England railroad board. The recent trip of di-
rectors the railroad is sharply criticised by
those who failed to sell their stock, and they are
very indignant 1t is stated that the New Eng
land railroad has sold its stock in the New Eng
land Transfer Company to the New YORK. New
Haven q Hartford Company The dissatisfied
people represent that, In view OF the feet that
the transfer company has earned and paid 10 per
cent. dividends monthly for the last five or six
years, or 120 per cent per annum, the stock was
worth certainly ten for one. or $1,000 for each
800 share; but instead of getting any such price
the company it is understood, received only half
of the present value of the boats and floats. or
about $75, 900 for it's half of the transfer compa

paving blocks to be shipped to Cincinnati at a
former profit of 10 cents per yard. The new tar

TO MY WIFE

Why need you care, dear wife, or heed
The passing of your early gracet
What though the lilies supersede
The springtime roses Of your facet
What though the azure Of your eyes
Has mellowed to a softer bluel
The fairest tints that deck the skies
Are caught from twilight's fading hue.
Why should the ripened fruit regret
Its summer bloom, howeer so fart
Why need you sigh, though Time should set
His crown of silver ON, your hairl
The sweetest fragrance Of the rose
Is from its fading petals pressed,
And Nature spreads her earliest SHOWS
Above the flowers she loves the best
What care we for the vanished years,
Save for the fruit their summers brought;
What care we for our fallen tears,
Save for the rainbows on them wrought;
Why should we mourn the joys we shared,
Or see them perish with regret,
Since on the fruit our hearts have Jared,
And memory keeps the rainbows yeti
What though our winter time has come,
And summers buds and blooms expirel
Love hath an ever radiant home, a
And bids us welcome to its fire.
He dwelt with us through all the spring;
We sheltered him from summers heat;
Now at his hearth well sit and sing,
And let the wintry tempest beat.

king Kalakaua,s Klngdom.

From MIR. f. S. Poole, of st. Louis,
who has for many years been engaged in
raising rice in the Sandwich Islands, /
got glimpse yesterday of King Kala-
kaua and his kingdom. Everybody viii
remember the stir that was made when
the Sandwich Island monarch Travelled
through this country several years ago.
King "Calico'Nwas on every tongue.
Mr.. Poole told'ihe that King Kalakaua,
although once very wealthy, has been so
open-handed and prodigal that he has
little money left. He has been reigning
for fourteen OF fifteen years, and while a
man of some ability he has not been able
to hold his position except by the con-
slant expenditure of money. They have
elections on the islands, compared with
which those in the United States are
tame. The islanders are natural orators
and will discuss the issues of the day by
the hour from any point of vantage,
whether the head Of a sugar barrel, a
table or door step. They move largely
on the impulse of the moment and can
be swayed under excitement for any
side. The kingdom is divided between
the Gins" and ''outs, that is, the Ad-
minstraton and the anti-Administra-
ton factions. With the exception of
the treaty with the United States, the
Sandwich Islands have protective tariff
Of ten per cent. against all Countries

A Fair Report.

The following report of the financial
standing of gentleman, furnished a
friend by Abraham Lincoln, is probably
more reliable, says YOUTHS Companion,
than many of the reports furnished to-
day by some commercial agencies. His
estimate of the value Of the wife and
baby will strike the ordinary father as
being very fair:
~ ours Of the 10th instant received. 1 am
well acquainted with Mr.. --, and know his
circumstances First of all, he has a wife
aud baby. Together they ought to be worth
fifty thousand dollars To any man. Secondly,
he has an Office in which there is a table
worth one dollar and fifty cents, and three
chairs worth saw. one dollar. Last of all,
there is in one corner large rat-hole, which
will bear looking into.
Respectfully yours, A. LINCOLN.

! How great and varied are the resources
OF some Of our railroad corporations may
be Judged from the statement that
Western company has completed ar
rangements to establish weather service
over its entire system similar to that in
use by the Federal Government. Trains
will be equipped and operated according
to the weather reports, which are to lie
made from stations along the line to the

Still blows in vain

tanned in the address Of Chief Arthur.
of the Brotherhood Of Railway Engi.
neers. before the annual meeting In
Chicago yesterday;
"It Is not my intention to impose upon
this convention any dogma upon the
drink question. But cannot refrain in
honesty TO my own convictions, from
deploring the sad havoc that intemper-
ance is making IN the ranks of our fell
low men. so great is this evil that no
man or woman who is striving to inn
prove their fellows can help taking Il
into account. IL is, indeed, an import
ant factor for evil in our midst. Not
only from the physical and moral stand
point is il working mischief, but from
the standpoint of labor. The man who
has so little self-control that he cannot
resist the temptation 10 degrade him
selfis always in danger of bringing DIS
grace upon his brethren. He has lost
his self-respect and, in some extent, his
independence, thus making an easier
victim TO the greed of a selfish employer
would, therefore, urge upon you the
necessity of abstaining from everything
that will in the slightest degree impair
your usefulness as citizens, or your
efficiency as locomotive engineers. Be
frugal and industrious; practice econ

use you possibly can of your time anC

The Road VIII Build Straight Line to
Misunderstanding Out for No City.
DULUTH, Oct. 20.-A gentleman in this
city has positive knowledge that the St.
Paul & Duluth railway company have
decided to go ahead at once and build an
extension of their line from st. Paul to
Omaha, making direct air line. Survey
ors have been out on the line for some
time, and the survey is now al
most completed. The line as sur
veyed passes thirteen miles southeast OF
Mankato, and the board Of trade OF that
city sent delegation to President Fisher
to induce him to make that one Of the
points on the line. He replied that he
could not, as they would make line just
as near an air line as the topography OF
the country would allow, turning out fol-
no place, however important, and that
the offer of $500, 900 by Sioux City for a
Duluth connection would not tempt to
break this resolution, but that after the
through line was built they would build
| feeders.
There is suspicion that this is 9
"feeler" TO get some roaring big bids fol
the line by cities along the way. Man
kato ought to have this road if built, and
il would seem that the road ought &c
have Mankato.

GOVERNOR MCGILL takes hold Of
the matter in the proper manner. In
a letter to the prison investigating CON-
mittee he says:
I'm my commission to you dated
July IS, 1857, inviting you at the re-
quest Of the board of prison inspectors
to investigate certain charges against
ex-Warden Reed, l requested you also
to investigate any charges which
might be preferred against the manage
ment of the prison since Capt. r.
ceased to be warden. l am inform
that charges of a serious charac
have been preferred by the H, i,
Fayette Marsh against the present
warden, Hon. H. G.. Stordock, and !
therefore have to request that you ex-
tend your inquiry to cover these and
all other charges which have been OF
which may be made against said Stor-
dock in connection with the manage
ment of said prison. Let the inquiry
take wide enough range to cover
Mr.. Marsh'S charges in full. Mr..
Stordock is holding an important trust,
which, if these charges can be main
tanned, should be withdrawn from him.
1t is therefore important to the State
that they be thoroughly, fairly and
honestly investigated, and this is also
due to Mr.. Stordock.
